When I was in the 11th ACR, the bumper numbers for the scout platoons were: X1 plt ldr, X4 plt sgt, X2 & X3 were wingmen (we called this the first section), X5 & X6 were wingmen (and this was called the second section).

The squadron commander and the S-3 (Operations Officer) each had an assigned Bradley, HQ-66 & HQ-33, respectively.

In my Armored Cav Troop we were this way:

Black = HQ Command/Tactical Units (Black 6 - CO, 5=XO, 7=1SG, 8=HQ Plt. Sgt., 9=Mortar Sec. Ldr.)

Gold = HQ Plt Maintenance Assets.

Red = 1st Plt. (For all the Platoons, 1 = Plt. Ldr., 4= Plt. Sgt., any others were wing units)

White = 2nd Plt.

Blue = 3rd Plt.

Green = 4th Plt.

These colors were only used on the troop radio net. If we went off the net we used our Troop callsign and unit designation. (So since I was in I Troop, the CO would contact another troop commander as Invader 6 and not Black 6.)

Invader, I was in Leadhorse Blue.

Have they yet figured out how to code the stowing of Bradley missile launchers?

Aye, and they let the wee lassies out for a bit o' sunshine.

Overheard during Phoenix, Arizona Marine Week.

Yep, that's the spot. I took that photo during a walkabout one weekend from Bad Hersfeld to Bad Salzungen.

Old tower at Vacha/Philippsthal. I just spent a couple hours on Skype with a friend who grew up down the street from that bridge.

This page might still work.

I read this some years ago. It seemed thorough at the time. The author, though not the particular work, is cited in the first linked article.

No human player fires (and guides) a missile personally in Combat Mission.

Well, darn. I was hoping that maybe you could do a trade with them. Their active defense system data for an algorithm to stow missile launchers when vehicles move.

Not easy to get.

Unless you've got an SBpro customer with demand for such a system simulated, willing to share the needed data AND that has no objections in making them public ( :-D )

Or somebody could just pick up a copy of Combat Mission Black Sea and reverse engineer their data.

Well any film that depicts a Centurion fighting compartment to be large enough that you can shackle a PW inside to the turret basket and still fire the gun (without the PW's head getting smeared), oh and carrry other internal passengers as well, is pretty bad.

To be honest, I never did make it all the way through "Lebanon." I turned it off during the scene with the extra person in the turret. "Waltz with Bashir," however, has the same general subject matter, yet is an excellent study of post-traumatic stress.

Is the Lebanon movie a better tank movie than "Tank" (1984)? Or what about "Tank Girl" (1995)? :men_ani:

"Tank" had the Rockford Files guy, much cooler than Wardaddy Pitt. And "Tankgirl," iirc, had a morphing AMX-13 and a postapocalyptic kangaroo-rapper hybrid.

Best tank movie is a low bar to hurdle

Mog

Yeah, the question isn't whether Fury is a good tank movie, but rather is it worse than Lebanon?

In the end, only a captured German Tiger can save them, because it's awesome.

After all, "It's a mother, beautiful tank."

Thanks for the kind words. I'd step out of the alleyways more often, but I'm afraid my probation officer would find out how I really spend my time.

Concur that it's an M-41. ID feature being the number of road wheels. M-47 has six. Further, Brazil had a few M-41's that were upgraded.

Its part of your install, in the "docs" folder.

I haven't upgraded yet. I'm running the old 32 bit version. The manual I have in my docs folder does not mention operations.

Is the latest user manual available online?

Pardon my cluelessness. Is there any published documentation on creating/editing operations?

A second lieutenant and a staff sergeant are at adjacent urinals in the latrine. The NCO finishes and begins to walk directly out the door. The young lieutenant reminds him that, "Sergeant, when I was in ROTC, they taught us to wash our hands after using the facilities." The sergeant replies, "Good for you, sir. In basic training I learned how not to piss on my hands."

Not China, rather Japan. Close sir.

Though the Hollywood cameraman certainly has a different eye for distances and space than the gunner or cavalryman.

Perhaps this was what you were looking for. I have no idea who the original author was.

Want to thank Asid for helping me out getting my router set up after a long hiatus. I seem to have forgotten most of the keystrokes.
